Lotus Blooming: Why Does it Matter?

While Lotus Blooming – our fundraising campaign to Plant Zen in Siskiyou Square – is about money, our vision and aspiration for Siskiyou Square is about the Dharma. So, why does Lotus Blooming matter?

Jimmy Curry, Dharma Rain member, has donated $100 to Lotus Blooming.“Dharma Rain’ on SE Madison was cozy and warm. To me, our new temple is effort and sacrifice – and I mean that in a good way. I say ‘effort’ because it inspires me to work harder to be a better Buddhist practitioner than I have been. And I say ‘sacrifice’ because it inspires me to set down and leave behind some aspects of myself I want to let go of.”
